  • Wheeled attachment for patient transport litter
    Patent number: 6698811
    Abstract: An attachment (A) mounted on an end of a litter (L) used for transporting a person includes a frame (3) extending transversely of the litter between poles (P1, P2) at one end of the litter. A pair of collars (4) are attached to the frame and sized to fit over ends of the poles for mounting the attachment to the litter. Wheels (1, 19) carried by the frame extend beneath the litter so when the attachment is mounted in place, the litter is movable over a surface by only one attendant. A trapezoidal support (18) extends upwardly from the frame above an upper surface of the litter so when the attendant lifts the end of the litter opposite that on which the attachment is mounted, the person placed on the litter is supported in place and will not fall off the litter.
